What’s in it
AI summary Iowa would create a new scholarship program to help students with intellectual, developmental, or learning disabilities pay for college tuition and fees. These students must be enrolled in specific approved programs within the state to qualify. The state will prioritize giving these scholarships to people who live in Iowa, provided that enough money is set aside each year.1
